Vote for Trump? These Republican Leaders Aren’t on the Bandwagon

Disgruntled, deep-state, defeated-by-Trump-has-beens who lost their jobs thanks to Trump. Ruffle a few feathers in the Beltway and take away their comfortable lives and look out.

I think a lot of people see right throught this.
Yep, that's why in 3 years Trump has filled his cabinet with as many Lobbyists as Bush Jr and Obama combined over their 16 years.
 
A stronger message from retired Marine captain John M. Dowd, a former Marine Corps judge advocate and a Trump attorney in a letter to Mattis:

Jim:

I slept on your statement and woke up appalled and upset. You lost me. Never dreamed you would let a bunch of hack politicians use your good name and reputation – earned with the blood and guts of young Marines.

You did what you said you would – engage in this discourse. Marines keep their word.

The phony protesters near Lafayette park were not peaceful and are not real. They are terrorists using idle hate-filled students to burn and destroy. They were abusing and disrespecting the police when the police were preparing the area for the 1900 curfew. Jim, this is the new nihilism. See Dan Henninger in WSJ today.

Marines support the police in harm's way.

Did you forget that President Bush used active duty Marines to quell the riots in LA? President Trump has countless cities and some snowflake governors and mayors wetting themselves in the use of force to protect innocent lives and property. The AG of Massachusetts thinks burning property is good protest. Three more policemen were stabbed and shot in NYC last night.

Think about it. Should he be upset about the obvious failure of leadership? Where are you Jim?

Marines go to the fight.

No one divided this country more than Obama. He abandoned our black brothers and sisters. He gave guns to the cartels. He apologized for our precious sacrifice and generosity overseas. You remember, he fired you.

President Trump has done more to help our minority brothers and sisters in three years than anyone in the last fifty. Ask the black pastors. Ask the leaders of the black colleges and universities. He got them funded. Ask them about the prison reform which ended the draconian sentences imposed on young black men by the laws enacted by Biden and his hacks. You need to bone up on your homework and stop listening to Uncle Leon.

I understand, you had to stick to the assigned narrative which did not include three years of corrupt investigations and evidence to destroy the President, his office, and his lawful free election. Nancy has no tolerance for dissent in the ranks – including those with stars.

You said nothing of the ugly, hate filled, disgraceful comments of Pelosi, Schumer, Perez and other Democrat hacks defaming the President and his office. You said nothing of the unlawful sanctuary cities and the unlawful release of hoodlums. You said nothing of the resistance movement to paralyze our courts and our government operations. You said nothing of the obstruction and subversion of our immigration laws. You said nothing of MS-13 killers and the drug cartels who own huge sections of our major cities. Jim, do you thin that hateful rhetoric and those corrupt actions were inspiring and unifying? Do you think the DI's at Parris Island would find such behavior as unifying?

Maybe, your problem, is a lot deeper. Perhaps you ought to explain how and why you (and John Allen), as CG Central Command, did not engage and take out Iranian Major General Soleimani who roamed the Middle East and wreaked havoc and death of our American boys with his infamous IEDs?

Why did it take President Trump to have the instincts and balls to take him out (of course over the objection of the geniuses in the Pentagon)?

Looks like the Persian mullahs were a one horse sleigh and Trump nailed the horse . . . forever. It has been quiet ever since. Perhaps, your anger is borne of embarrassment for your own failure as the leader of Central Command. Did you applaud when the President recognized the central problem in the middle east? Did you applaud the President when he wanted to save American lives by bringing them home in one piece?

John M Dowd

A total deflection filled with misstatements, falsehoods and political lies. There you go again. I get it.

Sorry you can't handle the truth, J. But it's all there in black and white. What you think is irrelevant because the truth and facts prevail.

The truth is about Trump’s lack of leadership and poor performance not what someone has to write about Mattis. Get it.

You're going to have to rephrase that. It's not in grammatically correct English and makes no sense.

And what does Mattis have to do with this? Nothing.
 
How about November 4th, 2020. Seeing Trump’s worsening performance and failed leadership is more than you can or should have to bear.
The Biden revolution will be over then, if not before.

So explain what some of these are rather than generalizing.

Your post sounds like you borrowed from our comments on your usual rants.

So your issue is your association of individuals as part of a debunked turkish conspiracy theory that you fell for because of your TDS... that's great.

You can't seem to shake off an idea once it enters your brain. The concept of deep state can exist elsewhere than Turkey and it can encompass a different set of ideas. Yet it can have the same name. These 2 guys are named Howard Stern. Surprisingly in your world, they aren't the same person.

You don't get it. Trump has turned politics as usual upside down. How do you think the bands of career politicians feel when someone with zero political experience, who as you all point out over and over, is incompetent and a buffoon, comes to Washington and produces a booming economy, despite every landmine they put in his path. Then, the best they can put up against him is a career politician with nothing to show for his lifetime as politics as usual.

They have been exposed, and it hurts. They have tried and will try everything to stop him.

Speaking of poor English. You are on display. "Rephrase 'that' "? "Not 'in' grammatically correct" ?

Then "what does Mattis have to do with this"?
This and that on display!

Poor writing on display. You can really butcher the language. Re-read my sentence so you can see it makes sense. I was hoping you would realize my point.

Let me break my statement down for you.

Truth is (subject - verb) Trump's lack of leadership AND poor performance (compound statement of TRUTH) that counters "what someone has to write about" Gen Mattis.
How do you expect to be a copywriter for the National Enquirer?

Stick with your search for Communism while trying to understand socialism with Trump legislating trillions to save the economy.

I'm convinced now, J. You don't know what you're talking about in politics, and definitely don't know what you're talking about in writing the English language. Many of your posts make no sense, and I'm not talking about underlying content. You don't need to critique my writing skills. Where did you learn to write? I'd stay clear of that place.

I'm not here to criticize the writing and grammar of every post of yours because I'd be here all day doing that. This is just a message board and people write in all different ways that are probably incorrect most of the time, and no one cares. But you keep bragging about your writing skills and command of the English language, but repeatedly can't demonstrate it. You're the one who keeps bragging about this and other things you do and can do. That's not a good look when you can't back it up. You just compound your problems by stating your heavily biased regurgitation of lies from CNN and the NYT with every post. You have been brainwashed.

BTW, I've written opinion pieces for our local paper and was complimented by the local editor for my writing style and content. They get published. I've also written technical articles for trade magazines and journals that have been published. So I'm not the one "butchering" the English language, as you put it.

It all comes down to power and results. These Dems hate the fact that an outsider has produced the results we have seen over the past 3+ years in the economy and our re-emphasis of the Constitution. That's bad news for Dems, especially with no real candidate running against Trump in November. Everything they try that's intended to derail his Presidency goes up in flames. And when they try and use a worldwide crisis to take him down and try and blame it on him, they look foolish.

But as you said, this is all about retaking power and they'll do anything and everything to get that done. The end justifies the means with these totalitarian socialists.

I'm not a big Trump fan and have said that on numerous occasions. I'd prefer another Republican candidate to run in his place....someone like a Ted Cruz or Tim Scott. But if Trump would by some freak of nature and some hanky panky performed by the Dems lose in November, I'd actually prefer that the Republicans maintain control of the Senate and regain control of the House. The national Senate and House races are more important than who is elected President.
 
General Powell has identified as a Republican for years. He just looks like a Democrat.
He kissed Obama's ass for 8 years. Why??
And Powell stopped Bush41 from finishing Saddam in 1991. He's partly responsible for thousands of American lives. Should be ashamed.
 
Colin Powell announced that he is voting for Biden.

Looks like another closet liberal who fooled everyone for 40 years is exposed.
From the Cheap Seats; Colin Powell did not FOOL anyone. He served this country well for many years. I don't agree with some of his positions today, but he has certainly earned the right to state his positions.

Good for you. I don’t brag about my writing I’ve made statements. And I’ve been published as well. In my profession I’ve also written technical material that went public. But that means nothing until you criticized me with two poorly written statements, and you did not understand the correct statement I wrote.

Please save your often repeated opinions about the NYT & the Wash Post. Both have highly regarded writers, pundits, editors, and reporters who have far more readership and influence than you. Your problem is that you don’t agree with them. That’s your problem. Further, you offered the highly opinionated and poorly written piece against Gen Mattis when the problem addressed was Trump. The problem is Trump. He lies, is a danger to the country, wants to be a fascist and is a flawed Individual in many aspects. There is no reason to believe this salesman should remain in office. His best choice is to resign. Republicans who follow him are in serious trouble.

As long as you are able to tell the difference between reporting and opinion, you can reference the NYT and Wash Post. I don't have to agree with opinion, but when reporting is presented to us as reporting when it is actually opinion, that's when I have problems with them.

My statements are never poorly written. Maybe they were poorly comprehended.

And what exactly does "I don't brag about my writing I've made statements" mean? The comma is your friend. Your run-on sentences are not. And your original statement was poorly written as well. So I take your criticism with a grain of salt and consider the questionable source. You aren't exactly a source of proper English writing skills.

The NYT, WaPo, CNN and others don't publish or broadcast facts. They publish and broadcast opinion ONLY. But you present them on here as fact. Do you know how foolish that is? That's why I completely dismiss anything you say. It's purely uninformed, biased opinion from the extreme left and full of lies. You do realize that the NYT editorial board that screens pieces to be published is comprised of a bunch of extreme leftist kids, right?

As for Trump, I don't care what you think about him. I also think he lies, like every politician out there, and is a jackass and a narcissist. What you wrote about him can also be said about Biden....he lies, is a danger to the country, wants to be a fascist ( as do all Dems), and is a flawed individual. There is no reason to believe that Biden should be the President. It goes both ways.

I'm done with you, J. This is insane trying to reason with someone who is so brainwashed into believing the socialist lies of the far left and posting them as fact.

I don't think he needs their vote. He appears to be doing pretty good in the black community. Take polls for what they are but this high of approval rating among likely black voters is interesting, especially this past week.

 
Devoted their entire adult life to...wait, tell me again what he accomplished to get where we are today? You mean the America that we should disrespect by kneeling for the national anthem is the product of his lifetime of service?
Kneeling is respectful. The right wing propaganda messaging that what Kap did was disrespectful to the flag and the National Anthem is just that, right wing propaganda messaging aimed at arm chair patriots and MAGA hat wearing clods.
